New Standing Prediction

[Second Base]

Alright so we're halfway through June, it's not that early anymore, and the Angels are trailing the Astros by 9 and the M's by 7.5 games.  How does this season play out?

AL West: Astros 97-65, Angels 88-74, Mariners 87-75

AL Central: The Indians 90-72. 

AL East: Yankees 101-61, Red Sox 97-65

WC Game: Angels at Red Sox. 

NL West: D-Backs 90-72, Dodgers: 88-74

NL Central: Brewers: 92-70, Cubs 91-71, Cards 88-74

NL East: Nats: 88-74, Braves 86-76, Phillies 84-78

WC Game: Cards or Dodgers at Cubs.

I wish I could be that optimistic.   The rotation has to get healthy, and in turn Eppler acquire a closer and key setup man, for them to even approach 88 wins.

They would have to go 49-39 to reach 88 wins.   The M's would have to go 41-48 to also reach 87 wins.   

Tall order on the Halos part, without a healthy rotation and without a real closer and real setup man

I like our chances a lot better to get to 88 wins than I do of Seattle only winning 87.   Unless of course we kick the shit out of them in our remaining 12 games against them.

I'm horrible at predictions...

Last prediction I made was that Sidney Moncrief would be better than Magic Johnson.  Ok... maybe not the "last" prediction I made, but certainly the worst.

A positive thought: The final ten games we play against Seattle this year are at the Big A.

Maybe our fans will turn out and support us in a big way??

Maybe.

I even remember a local scrub CBB play-by-play guy named Eddie Alexander, who during a Cal State Fullerton/Michigan State game on local tv in December 1978 said Magic Johnson was the most overrated CBB player.    LOL, ROTFLMFAO

Which is very doable, Boogie.

[Griffey's Corner]

I think to get to the playoffs in the AL a team will have to win 90+ games.

[Torridd]

Maybe I'm overly rosy, but I still think we can catch Seattle. The Angels are very due after this past month and Seattle can't continue playing as they have.

Except maybe Cleveland.  I think the four teams coming from the West and East all end up with 100 wins.

4 100-win teams? I don't think so.

Yep, Seattle has far too tough of a remaining schedule to do that.   No way they go 54-35 the rest of the season

Sure. I was not counting the AL Central.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

The Angels have been too inconsistent to make that kind of a run, IMO. The offense vanishes at times, the bullpen blows games by the basketload, and we can't seem to keep a rotation together for any length of time.

[Jeff Fletcher]

Fun fact: on this date in 2014, Ernesto Frieri was the Angels closer.

Mike Trout is currently on fire leading the league in almost everything and we're still losing (3-7 the last 10)..what's going to happen when he cools off.

If the bullpen isn't addressed the Angels are going to have a hard time winning 84 games.

Hope I'm wrong but that's how I see it.

When he cools off I assume the outcome will still be the same.

How could a loss get worse than a loss?

1. Lose game 

2. Lose game and Trout gets hurt. 

the same?

I will predict us getting hot and winning 91 games and seattle winning 89 games. We barley squeak by in the WC round. Then we lose the first game of each series, BUT WE END UP WINNING each playoff series just like in 2002. And we win the WS and put up our second WS winner flag.
